Silicone cases?

How are the silicone cases suchs as these http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=xperia+silicone&_sacat=See-All-Categories
from Ebay?
I have never seen one in real life. Is the phone harder to operate with the case? Does it bulk up the phone too much?
I used to own a HTC tytnII (without a silicone case) which is slightly bulkier than the Xperia, and so if I could handle the HTC's slight bulk, then I would assume the Xperia w/ silicone case would be of similar size, no?

I wouldn't get a silicone case, they are very responsive to touch and uncomfortable.
I mean responsive as in they always get in the way, and you know how silicone is, it flexes and it bends.
They also feel uncomfortable for me.
This is about silicone cases for all phones and mp3 players.
I'd rather let me Xperia scratch than to be protected by that obstacle.

i would have agreed to u ..but the battery cover of my X1 got little scratches from coins in the pocket and now i am worried.
maybe leather covers?

those silicone cases do their job for a cheap price, I've used a few of them on a few makes of phones & they've been fine, but idd regards they feel a bit weird at 1st as in their like a condom but once u get used to them their ok I'd say.
Or you can indeed go buy a leather case & they vary from cheap .HK 1's to proporta etc... again I've had a few, even used expensive 1's.
I'm currently using a silicone case now & then with my diamond but mostly I have it in a leather flip style case, also got 2 leather pouch style cases...
My advice to any 1 who buys an expensive pda/ phone is to protect it 1 way or another with either a case or a pouch oh & always fit a screen protector also
Or don't care & get your pda scratched or chipped etc...

I had similiar one when I owned Touch Pro.
the fitment is ok (not the best) but I think the quality is at best average.

I just bought this one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Silicone-...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262
Since I like silicone cases better than regular leather or pouch ones.

Silicone Cases are Great
I've been using silicone cases for years. They do not bulk up the phone, and they give great protection. All the ports are available, and the buttons usable. And, they're inexpensive!

is the optical pad covered using the silicone case?

Yes, they block the pad, at least the ones off of eBay do (I just recieved one)
There are some rubber cases that leave that area uncovered. You can find them on eBay as well. Although I don't now how the keyboard slide function works out with those.

the ones from hong kong off ebay are not very good, I have stopped using mine, so anyone thinking of buying one just avoid them.... I can post some pics if you want....

Clear Plastic Instead of Silicone
You might want to try a clear plastic case. I bought a couple from Ebay and like them better than the silicone ones. The ones I bought were about $3.25 each. Since they're clear, the allow the beauty of the phone show through. Plus, none of the buttons are covered.

Review: Ebay Leather Case UPDATED

Attached Pics:

Attached Pics:
a. the flat bottom screen protector.
b. the view of the camera from the back. As can be seen it is very open and does not affect exposure.
c. the packaging (plastic)

Review:
Price: £1.89 + £ree p&p
(not the cheapest case i've ever bought: £0.10 for Crystal N95 Case + Screen Protector, but hey what can you do )
The case took about 10 days to be delivered.
The packaging was alright not a cardboard box but the contents were not affected in anyway and for free delivery what can you expect
I was happy that they sent 2 screen protectors, as can be seen in the pics they are not the same. One of which protects some protection to the bottom of the phone beside the keys. One of which does not. I have not yet attached the screen protectors as I do not see as being currently necessary and I'm rubbish at applying screen protectors ( Get bubbles everywhere )
The case itself has a nice orange stitching and a soft velvety interior finish. The velvet itself can be seen to be a dust magnet. I have tested out the compass and the magnetic clasp does not affect it.
Update 24/06/10:
As highlighted by JonPickles below the plastic case securing the phone to the case is tight. I am slightly worried whether repeated removal and installation of the phone will cause damage to the paint of the casing. Also if the phone is not taken out properly the tight fitting can cause the battery cover to come of. As of now I have not found a good way to remove the phone. I am wondering it repeated removal will losen the fitting making it easier to remove. If anyone else has this case or any other tight fitting cases please share any tips on how best to remove it.

i bought one too and didnt like how the phone was squeezed into the plastic holder and my battery cover came off when i took it out of holder plus didnt like the securing tab in my ear when makin/answerin a call so bought another that was completely leather and the tab was not in the way for £3.50 from hong kong which came in ten days also
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190399620812&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I didn't like the leather insert into which the phone goes. But everyone has their own tastes.

Great case for that price, it's really cheap and do the job perfectly, thanks for this share

Just got it
It barely fits the phone with INVISIBLE FULL BODY ZAGG SHILED ! My zagg shield got ripped of my phone and destroyed zagg shield. + it did not fit. My batteri cover came of and its really hard to take the phone out , dont like it at all

Thanks for the info m4sta2k, I'll stay clear of this one then.

The same story - slightly different characters:
Beware of snap-on hard cases! I mean you have to be very careful and do not go for the cheapest ones. My sad experience with one of them, very similar to this one brought me to this rather obvious conclusion. What happened is that in 3 weeks gray paint/covering of my HD2 was damaged wherever it touched the sturdily snapping hard case - on the corners battery cover (where the gray plastic body of HD2 slightly is raised comparing to lower battery cover) - I will post photos of it.
Then I ordered a leather pull-case, and i am happy with it. Here is my positive review for it

I'm looking for HD2 cases, which is the best !

Hi ,
I'm looking for HD2 cases,
last week I bought this case from amazon :
Here
I was surprised, It's completely bad !
You can't connect the charger cable because it's not well designed for HD2 !
However, I found this website : Here
I think it's designed for HD2 perfectly, but to be honest I don't like the skins or the colors !
If anyone has a good experience with the cases for HD2 , I will appreciate for helping me .
​

try a tpu skin. tpu is a intermediate between a hard case and a gel case so to speak. it's very firm, but still flexible. i've tried to crumple mine up, stretch it, tear it, etc., and it just reforms instantly. try momax icase (i'm ordering one within the next few days), capdase xpose soft jacket, etc.
there's also the nice, fancy ones lol. the otterbox line and the capdase alumor are the first ones to come to mind. they have a soft inner sleeve (i think the alumor just has a soft lining; not a separate sleeve), and a hard outer shell. they're more expensive, so just keep that in mind.
also, keep in mind that if you are in the us, the tmo usa hd2 is slightly taller (see if you have a "t-mobile" branding underneath your earpiece. most cases are made for the euro hd2, so that's why i've done my research lol. i'm really hoping that momax i'm ordering can stretch out a bit to fit my phone better. anything else you need, just pm!

If you're not looking at leather cases, than I'd definitely recommend otterbox's products - I personally use otterbox defender, but for your needs (looking at the case you've chosen at first) commuter probably should be better. Keep in mind, there are different versions for Int. or US HD2.

just go with the soft gel cases on ebay. they fit like a glove and proximity sensor microphoneand usb port is all accessible.

Case mate is pretty good

The original HTC case is "Quietly brilliant"
Did not find a better one on the market.

I'd recommend you a leather case. They are very noble looking. Try it on eBay!

Transparent TPU case

Any suggestions about fully transparent TPU cases, but without ruining the infrared ?
Thank you.

I would strongly recommend BASEUS Air Case. I have been using it for 3 weeks and I am very pleased with it. It is only 0.6mm and protects both phone and its appearance . Since its a soft case, does not scratch the phone body.
There are some sellers at ebay with the unit price between $3.90 and $8.90.

Do you have any images of the case on your phone?
I probably won't get it since it's a glossy material on the inside, which would make it stick to my Xtremeguard, but I'm curious as to the fit of it on the phone.

Looking great, exactly what I've been searchng for
EDIT: lol I discovered now that I've already ordered this case on eBay ! But "BASEUS" isn't named right in the title so I haven't noticed it

i ordered my baseus case..was a lil worried but the tracking finally showed up...i should have it in a week or so..for now im rocking my spigen capsule ..but i want a thinner case

I ordered the Baseus ultra thin TPU case and other 2 clear cases:
Clear Hybrid PC Cover With Black TPU Frame (similar to the AmCase I believe, hard plastic with TPU Bumper)
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...998769&alt=web
NEW ULTRA THIN CRYSTAL CLEAR HARD CASE (similar to the Case-Mate Barely There, I believe, only hard plastic)
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...441622&alt=web
They are all very cheap, all three cases togheter cost less than the Case-Mate Barely there, for instance. Any of you guys have somethig similar?
Also ordered an glass screen protector from Aliexpress, 5 dollars shipped (Dont pay more than that, the brand ones are the same, your only paying marketing costs..)
I will post my opinion when I get them. I hope I like at least one of them
Cheers

i had a transparent case...and it turned yellow with time, bought it on ebay for 2$ though... but my recomendation dont buy that hh :laugh:
